> the author has never tried breakfast tea which has almost as much caffeine Tea time is a better cultural marker than the drink itself. And probably why you jumped to breakfast tea, because you're thinking of something occupying the same role as a morning cup of coffee. Most people wouldn't have a coffee break at 4:30 in the evening, but a tea break at 4:30 is perfectly okay. But the whole point of a "tea time of the soul" is to contemplate over tea before drinking it. Coffee offers no such moment to wait for it to cool, because a big cup would be too much coffee, but just enough tea. I thought that's the actual point of the article too. And then you start back at what you were doing, but a little more deliberate about it.
